Best Mistake (2019)

Com'è giusto che sia, in un drama così breve non potevano esplorare chissà quale sfaccettatura dei personaggi o creare situazioni incredibili, ma allora perchè non lavorare con quello che si ha invece di cercare di dare di più ma non riuscendoci? Ci vengono mostrati sprazzi di alcuni personaggi che sarebbe stato interessante approfondire ma ovviamente non c'era il tempo. Quindi perchè mostrarmele se al fine della storia non serviva?
Per me avrebbe dovuto giocare con quello che avevano, così sarebbe venuto un prodotto decisamente migliore perchè sì è carino, ma è anche un qualcosa di facilmente dimenticabile. Proverò a guardare la seconda stagione ma non ci spero molto. Cmq rimane qualcosa di carino senza impegno che per perdere poco più di un'ora si può affrontare. Mi ha sorpresa scoprire che da qui è nato Be My Boyfriend, un drama che ho amato e che spesso rivedo.. Me l'avessero detto non ci avrei mai creduto perchè non si somigliano di striscio.

Best Mistake is a 15 episode long webdrama that if I was to sum up in one word, it'd have to be Average, which isn't immediately bad or wrong. Like most average stuff, it's enjoyable to say the least, but I think that for the potential it has, the webdrama choose rather to let itself me mediocre and plain. It's biggest fault is that, in a platform full of content alike this, Best Mistake passes off as something...forgettable.

Starting with its strongest point: it's characters; their often mismatched personalities where the most enjoyable thing to watch. Besides the usual quiet but oh-so-quirky female lead and the bad-guy-is-actually-good male protagonist, there's more complex people that the drama could've explored further. Like the boy with dreams of being a tattoo artists that was the class's president, or the pretty, popular girl with fears of being abandoned; the fun and outspoken best friend of the female lead and even that one cute boy with a bad past with the police that we saw so briefly. There was so much hidden... diversity that I feel that the writers preferred to play it safe with a typical cliché love triangle and two leads that we find almost everywhere in dramas.

The plot, much like its characters, was surprisingly both bleak and unexpected, laced with the usual teen, high school romance based moments but with still some charm and personality to it here and there. The cast felt odd at first; it was hard for me to picture them actually playing teenagers, in high school, when their looks and voices wouldn't match the part. But their performances were nice, and so was the pacing of events.

Other thing that I thought could've been done better is the use of their osts. If I wasn't told that they were sung by NCT U, I would never have guessed it nor believed it. If you have such a good marketing "object", you should promote it wisely and make the most out of it.
